This country is not Fairy-land. What is it? 'Tis the land of Fancy, and is of that pleasant kind that, when you tire of it,-whisk!-you clap the leaves of this book together and it's gone, and you are ready for every-day life, with no harm done. And now I lift the curtain that hangs between here and No-man's land. Will you come with me, sweet Reader? I thank you. Give me your hand.
-The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Howard Pyle
